Not quite sure what you mean there...

I tried that too and the same thing happened, see below.

That is exactly what I'm suspecting. Though unlikely - is it possible?

I modified my code according to your example but removed the try/catch 
and the exception was still written to the console the same way as it 
used to. When I'm not catching the exception I guess it get caught some 
place else?

The exception occurs when the web server responds with http error code 
401 Unauthorized.

I'm developing a web application using Tomcat and Spring framework if 
that's relevant.
